Clara Oswald may not be completely gone from the Doctor Who universe according to eagle-eyed fans.

The Doctor's latest companion - who has been played by Jenna Coleman for three years - was seen seemingly dying at the hands of the ominous Raven in the tenth episode of the current series, but all may not be as it seems.

Eagle-eyed fans have flooded social media with filming pictures from August showing actress Jenna filming a scene as a waitress in what could be an American diner.

He said: “You’ll see Clara in some form again – this is not the end of Clara in the series.”

Jenna, who will play a young Queen Victoria in an ITV drama, first quit Doctor Who last year but she had a change of heart and decided to stay for a final series.

Clara was also a sidekick to Matt Smith’s Doctor. She is the first companion to be killed off since Amy Pond, played by Karen Gillan, and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) in 2012.

But viewers saw only their gravestones – not their deaths.

Jenna said: “I couldn’t stop crying after I filmed my final scenes – it was ridiculous to get emotional. I’d planned all these things I wanted to say but only got two words out.

“I’m emotional but I don’t usually like to cry in front of other people. Watching Peter Capaldi become his Doctor has been incredible. He’s a wonderful actor. I’ve been so lucky to see how both Matt and Peter work.”

Peter, 57, also confessed to “blubbing like a baby” after filming Clara’s death.
